Sell Your Inherited Jewelry and Sterling Flatware in Tampa

According to the 2014 US Census Report, more than 20% of the U.S. population will be 65 or older by 2030. As Baby Boomers downsize to smaller dwellings delicate conversations emerge surrounding which child will inherit which items. The Baby Boomers were a generation that took tremendous pride in their belongings, from jewelry to furniture. However, their children and grandchildren are more likely to favor function and simplicity over luxury. Those born after 1970 tend to favor minimalistic lifestyles with little clutter. They avoid getting bogged down with a lot of stuff. Instead of coveting fine furniture, young people buy inexpensive furniture knowing they can donate it later.

Here are a few tips if you’re looking to sell inherited items.

1. Keep the Original Packaging

Although this may be tricky with items that you did not purchase, the original packaging can add thousands to the value of your items. Collectors and buyers treasure these items and they add value and credibility.

Silverware should always be stored in its original box, if possible.

2. Clean Your Items

Cleaning your jewelry ahead of time can increase its value

Cleaning jewelry can be intimidating. Fortunately, there are a number of comprehensive tutorials for cleaning your jewelry on YouTube. As a general rule, sterling flatware is best presented polished with the storage box.

3. Consider the Melt Value

The melt value refers to the value of a piece of jewelry if melted down. If a piece of jewelry doesn’t suit your tastes, it may not fit other peoples. Consequently, a buyer might only consider buying items for their melt value.

4. Find Your Best Buyer

We recommend checking with a few buyers before you accept an offer, we’re confident that Diamond Banc pays the most for your jewelry and silver items.
